It's easy to visualize the operation of a CRT projector: three tubes, each operating much as the picture tube in the TV on your kitchen counter, flashing overlapping red, green, and blue analog images onto the screen. If you have a good model in top operating condition, and if you or your installer have slaved over its setup, you'll see an incredible picture&mdash;one that, on a home-size screen (not so large as to accentuate a CRT's main limitation of light output), is still as good as home video gets.
